Shrek Stories

48” Robe

Shrek Beanie

12”x12” acrylic on canvas

We chose to hang the robe and beanie from the ceiling and wall using clear line for the beanie and staples for the robe. Julia painted a portrait of Shrek which was displayed beneath the robe. Because of the purposeful Christ-like appearance of the robe, the painting acted as an almost shrine to the “Holy Shrek.” It was great because we were trying to emulate the idea of false prophets in our over saturated media, government, etc. I think it was effective on the audience as everyone picked up on the biblical reference. I was a tad worried people would be offended because of religion, but I felt we justly explained ourselves. An interesting comment was made referencing that it looked like the Antichrist. Looking at the shadows and the way the ogre ears look like horns, I think it’s a lovely subtle element to drive the idea home.

48” Robe and Shrek beanie

Tristan and I ended up filming over fifteen minutes of footage and he did a fantastic job of editing it together. We had initially planned for Tristan to talk to people while dressed up, however, when we were there we felt it would be best not to “disrupt the peace.” We heavily did not want to get kicked either. I like how we filmed the video in a vlog format. I think the message of being among the real world was presented better that way; it felt like the city was actually alive and there were lives happening around us. We kept the footage satirical as the absurdity of our topic calls for a more tongue in cheek approach. Several times we were worried security was going to kick us out, but the word of Shrek touched their hearts.

The two largest aspects to this project were the planning and then going and filming the work being done. We spent a lot of time in class discussing drawings Tristan could do while dressed as Shrek, or ways he could talk to people. When Tristan and I went to film, we even did more on site planning. We rode the metro and used various concrete surfaces to create the drawings. Overall, 10/10 swamps.

Is it weirder to watch in person or to sit and watch the whole video?

Viral Interventions: The Project and Proposals

The idea behind this is making a bench suitable for a park space that has resemblance of Shrek the movie character. Included in the illustration are ogre ears, mushrooms, or toadstools, and a ogre-esque painting scheme. We wanted to make the bench with the idea of hostile architecture in mind, and to create a bench that would be suitable for sleeping. Amongst the homeless, the anxiety of not knowing where to sleep or having a safe space is a real problem. The idea of an ogre is ridiculous but the theme would fit a park. Providing a bench that welcomes people in versus a bench that only allows for one use.

“You Look Like Shit”

Lipstick on mirrors

4 - 14”x12”



My thought process behind this piece was my personal discomfort and possible outrage at fake feminism. There have been so many times I’ve walked into a bathroom at a bar, restaurant, club, even a boutique, and there is no mirror in the bathroom; there’s just some cheap Amazon wall sticker that says “Don’t worry, you look beautiful!” Here’s a thought, maybe I already know I’m beautiful and I’m trying to see if I have lipstick on my teeth. I see the same fake activism during pride month. Suddenly companies are rainbow themed and care so much about the plight of the LGBTQIA+, but where are they when transgender youth are being attacked in the streets the other 11 months of the year? I felt the lipstick on the mirrors is very reminiscent of the mean girls writing on the mirror in lipstick. At least mean girls are upfront, not that people should be mean but that businesses pretending to care can be worse than doing nothing at all. I wanted to flip the idea on its head. Like hey, you actually really need to fix your lipstick and bangs. Wanting to look good doesn’t mean I don’t feel beautiful, I’m just trying to be the best self I want to be.

The act of applying and removing lipstick had become monotonous. However, the numbness in my lips would last for days.
